I'm going to be using my MacBook while it's closed and connected to a display when I'm at my desk and I was wondering if i'll be able to power it up with the keyboard so I don't have to open it up every time.

I am thinking of buying this keyboard for use with my iPad mini and iPhone 5S.

First - I know that it will work with either of these devices, my question is NOT about that.

What I am trying to find out is how easy it is to go from one to the other. Do I have to set it up manually, each time I want to switch which device I am using it with? Or, can I pair the keyboard to both devices and then just use it with either? If so, then if I were to start typing on my iPhone, but then wanted to carry on typing on my iPad, how would I do that? Would I need to turn off my iPhone? Or would I have to go into settings and re-pair it?

I see that there is a Logitech keyboard that has buttons so you can switch quickly between Mac, iPad and IPhone very quickly, without pairing manually via iOS settings every time you switch, but it costs more (at time of writing on the Apple Store) and I would prefer an Apple branded product.

Thanks for any help from my fellow Apple-addicts! Hope I explained this query clearly!!

Need to replace one I have. Have to turn it on/off to disconnect/reconnect constantly to get it to work properly (otherwise, stutters incomprehensibly ... type 'a' get 'aaa', etc). Developing apps. Need keypad.

I plan to buy a bluetooth dongle and use the wireless keyboard with my Powermac G5 which needs password to login. If I paired the wireless keyboard, does it means my G5 will auto connect it every time when I start the machine and no need to click connect before I can start typing something? I was concern it will not connect by itself upon startup and that way I can't type my password and get on the desktop.
